Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Strawberry cake mix cookies are a great easy solution when you want some fun pink cookies for the kids and don’t feel like fussing with making regular cookie dough. The strawberry cookies are made from 3 simple ingredients: cake mix, oil and eggs.

So get out your mixing bowl, I’m about to share this super simple Strawberry cake mix cookie recipe with you.

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies – Why Use Cake Mix to Make Cookies?

I’m sure a few of you are wondering why I would use cake mix to make cookies, when cookies are generally pretty easy to make from scratch. The thing is using a box of cake mix omits several steps and is a perfect solution when you either don’t have butter on hand or don’t want to fuss with it. You can use vegetable oil or even a light olive oil to make these strawberry cake cookies. Of course, while I used strawberry, any of the flavors of cake mix available would also work (except Angel Food, that may have issues).

Kids Love Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Kids love both making and eating these quick easy cookies. You can have these cake mix cookies on the cookie sheets far sooner than most cookie recipes, so kids will be enjoying them sooner. As a bonus… these cookies made from strawberry cake mix are nice big soft pink cookies. My daughter loved them!

Making Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

Making Strawberry Cookies from cake mix is crazy easy. Here is a quick visual walk-through of the process, so you can see for yourself. The full printable recipe is below.

The only ingredients you need to make these strawberry cake cookies is a box of cake mix, ⅓ cup of oil and two eggs. You also need a large bowl and a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat liner.

First beat the eggs and oil together with a whisk. Just beat until smooth.

Then use a large spoon to mix in the cake mix to create the cookie batter. Make sure to break of the dry bits for a smooth consistency. The strawberry cookie dough has a texture about halfway between play dough and soft silly putty.

Scoop two tablespoons sized balls of the pink cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet. You will get 14-16 strawberry cookies in the batch.

Bake the strawberry cake mix cookies for 10-12 minutes. The tops will start to crackle when they are ready.

Once the cookies are firm enough to move place them on a baking rack to finish cooling so the family can enjoy.

Dress Up Your Strawberry Cake Cookies

I kept the cookies simple for this batch. I just wanted to show you how easy cake mix cookies are to make. If you want to dress yours up a bit try slathering on a little ready made cake frosting over the top when they are slightly warm or making big sandwich cookies by spreading frosting between two cookies. Of course you could also make strawberry cake mix cookies with white chocolate chips by tossing in some white chocolate chips while mixing the cookie dough. You could even make them heart shaped for Valentines day. They might be good cookies for making my Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups too.
